BLACKENED HEART
Is this all in my head
I hope that this is not only in my head
I’ve been losing control
I’ve been praying to a god who’s not listening
Are we alone?
I hope that this is not only in my head
I’ve been losing control
I’ve been praying to a god who’s not listening
Are we alone?
This is a desolate road that I tread
And it’s taking its toll
Walking the embers of all I knew
My will is weak
I have no resolve
As it sinks in
I try to take a breath but I can’t breath in
As it seeps in
I try to take a pulse but it’s not beating
As it sinks in
I try to take a breath but I can’t breath in
As it seeps in
I try to take a pulse but it’s not beating
I’ve got a real bad feeling
That I might just lose my head
I’ve got a real bad feeling
someone might end up
I’ve got a real bad feeling
That I might just lose my head
I’ve got a real bad feeling
someone might end up dead
you might just end up dead
I need to cut it out
I need to save me from myself
I need to stop this now
Before I can’t come back from this
Inside my head there’s a poison eating away
At everything I hold close
I’d pray but not one’s listening
Inside my mind there’s a doubt that keeps repeating
For everything that I know
I’d pray but no one’s listening
Take my broken mind
Take my blackened heart
A thousand words
A thousand meanings
A thousand lies that keep repeating
But I won’t be defeated

Vultures

Vultures
My eyes are glazed over and unseen
All my pride these shattered dream
Dislocated from all my means
All of my life I’ve been searching for a way to
Sever these ties and never look back
I’m starting to think I won’t break free
And these vultures, they’re circling above me
Waiting to pick the bones clean and I can’t break free
This is who I am and I accept it
This is what I am now I expect it
And as I fall apart and yeah you’ll play your part
Yeah you’ll play your part
There’s something eating away, the walls are caving
A rope is tied round my neck and its constricting
I am filled with rage like the animal inside the cage
Just put it all on me a conscience clean
Just put it all on me I’ll take it
Just put it all on me so you can wipe your conscience clean
I’ll take it
Just put it all on me – I’m already broken
Just put it all on me I’m just too far-gone
Just put it all on me
Just put it all on me
I’m not giving in
I’ve given everything
The sands of time grow thin
What will become of me
In spite of all your endeavour I’m still standing
Although the cracks are appearing I’ll endure
In your shadows I’ll still be stood there waiting
Patiently for the axe to fall
We won’t falter
We won’t fail
In spite of all you endeavour
I’ll take the hits over and over
Standing tall forever
I’ll take the hits over and over

THE ROAD
I’ve been down this road
Once before
Following my footsteps
To an unknown door
The key does not fit
Once again
Will I find my solace?
Or will I find my end
And it burns behind my eyes
A thought that plays a thousand times
I will find this truth
Or search until it’s over
Until the sun burns out on me
I’ll be down this road

Beneath The Dule Tree

BENEATH THE DULE TREE
ALONE, UNDERNEATH THE DULE I’LL BE
ALONE, AWAITING WHAT THEY’LL DO TO ME
ALONE, THE SAME AS I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
ALONE, UNDERNEATH THE DULE I’LL BE
THERE’S SOMETHING THAT I’D LIKE TO STATE
SOMETHING MY TONGUE HAS BLED TO SAY
BUT I WILL BITE NO MORE
SOMETHING THAT HAS HOUNDED ME
MY HANDS WERE BOUND FROM WRITING IT
BUT I’LL BE MUTE NO MORE
THERE’S NO SOLACE IN THIS SILENCE (x4)
THE SILENCE WILL DIVIDE US ALL
MY TONGUE HAS BLED THESE WORDS
THESE WORDS, ENGRAVED IN MY MOUTH FOR THE LAST TIME

THE DARK PANE
ALL THESE PATHS WILL HAUNT US - UNTIL WE TRULY ARE REBORN
BUT WE MUST BURN TO EMERGE
AND NOW ON FIRE - ASHES FILLING UP OUR LUNGS
OUR EYES AND MINDS FOLLOW
ON THIS PYRE - ALL WE KNEW WILL TURN TO DUST
MUST WE ERASE TO BEGIN?
THIS CHAOS MUST PRECEDE THE CALM - WE’RE LED TO BELIEVE
THIS CHAOS WILL PRECEDE THE CALM
AS I DISAPPEAR – A THOUGHT LINGERS – A VOICE I HEAR
SCREAMING BACK AT ME – IT’S TOO LATE TO STOP
WE LONG TO KNOW WHAT LAYS PAST OUR OWN MORTALITY
WE LONGED FOR THE SOUND OF SILENCE - BUT IT’S BECOME DEAFENING
THE WAVES ARE PULLING US UNDER - AND I AM FIGHTING TO BREATH
THE SKY IS FALLING UPON US - AND I AM FIGHTING TO SEE
I STRUGGLE ON-WARDS – DOES OUR EXISTENCE EVEN MEAN A THING?
I’M APATHETIC (FROM) HOW IT’S BEEN FOR ME – BUT I STUMBLE ON
MY EYES ROLL BACK I DRIFT FROM HERE - MY BLOOD STANDS STILL
AS IF TIME DID FREEZE
MY EYES ROLL BACK I DRIFT FROM HERE - MY BLOOD STANDS STILL
SO, TIE THESE ROCKS (TO ME) AND LEAD ME BACK TO THE SEA
AS MY FLESH FALLS FROM (MY) BONES AWAKEN ME
SO, TIE THESE ROCKS (TO ME) AND LEAD ME BACK TO THE SEA
AS MY FLESH FALLS FROM
IS DEATH THE END OR IS IT JUST A GOAL, A METAMORPHOSIS FROM WHICH WE’LL ALL GROW
WILL WE JUST REBOOT AND THEN START AGAIN?
(OR FIND), WHAT’S STARING THROUGH THE MIRROR AT THE OTHER END
THIS DARK PANE, THIS DARK PANE, THIS DARK PANE, WHAT’S WAITING BEHIND IT FOR ME?
DO WE HOLD ON JUST TO SAVOUR ALL WE HAVE - HOLD ON UNTIL THE LAST?
SO, WE CAN MEET OUR MAKER?
WHO’S BEHIND THE DARK PANE - IS IT A GOD OR NOTHING - WE’LL FIND OUT IN THE END
I WADE INTO THE SUN - WITH MY EYES RAISED TO THE EARTH - I’LL BURN UNTIL I’M GONE
